Poll: which 2015 Celts pick will end up becoming the best player?

[2short]

Honestly I think all three will suceed at some level ... but watching more on Hunter in college and then watching summer league he just has the tools to be huge... Such range, quick shot, IQ, defenseive awarness... all about intangibles!!

agree
all three could be good quality nba rotation players, can any be all stars…no
starters, i don't think so maybe hunter on the right lineup
he shows me lots and iq (not like some guys  ) to work on limitations, his shot is nice to watch, passing very good and real nba sg size!!

Hunter's stroke has me drinking the kool aid.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's Mickey.  They're probably all bench role players, but big men who can rebound and block shots are most valuable even if they're coming off the bench.


Sad that the there is such little confidence in the guy we took at #16.  Sadder that the lack of confidence seems justified.

Mickey was my favorite pick mostly for need. He seems like a tough body down low who can block, which we need.

I am also excited to see if Hunter can turn into the next Kevin Martin.

I think Hunter could be a better 2 way player than KM.

He is a good ball handler and passer for a guard.  Tenacious defender. Likely not a plus defender but the effort and his long wingspan helps

What a steal at 28

I think it'll be Rozier. Danny reached for him at 16 when no one saw him going in the middle of the 1st round so I think Danny saw his potential as a player. I've watched his draft workouts and his college highlights. He strikes me as someone who has the mindset of a winner and wants to do everything in his power to improve his game. He already has some natural talent with his speed and defensive instincts and offensively I think he'll be raw but will in time he will round out his game. I'm the most excited about him.

This year I don't see the rookies getting much time because there are too many vets on this team who deserve minutes but once Danny gets everything settled and un-clutters this roster, they'll take off in the next few years.

However with our ocean of picks and the potential of all star players being on the market, I do wonder if these guys will even be on the team 3-4 years from now.

I went Hunter though I found it a tough choice. Of the three I feel he is the least likely to be traded and he has shown a few things we need. If Smart keeps improving then Rozier will have to prove himself to be very valuable or he will be kind of redundant. More could be said on that, including  IT and Bradley and Turner too I guess. At some point a player like Rozier, with lots of potential, will sweeten a deal for a big piece. All three could end up keepers but Hunter is the one I feel strongest about keeping.

Think Rozier is the most likely of the 3 to fly under the radar. RJ and Hunter come with skills that can directly translate to the league - shooting and shot blocking - while Rozier seems more like a jack of all trades. That said, definitely agree with others that his work ethic and mentality can take him a long way. He's a mystery man... I think he showed up in big moments at the end of SL solely because of that... still hasn't put together his tools into an NBA skill set, but has an X factor that can make all the difference. It'll be fun to see him develop, and if he does become a really good player, I imagine he'll be a fan favorite for that reason.

If you mixed Tayshaun Prince with Steph Curry, you'd have RJ Hunter---I'm going with Hunter.

Awesome comparison

voting hunter

he has the skills and body to atleast be a great shooter of the bench for a long time.
He has size and lenght, and tho not very athletic he seems to be very quick and agile.

Also voted for him cause in my opinion he has the best chance of all 3 to play this season right away as the back up SG. (barring any trades)

[BDeCosta26]

I think it could be any of the three to be honest. I think they all have pretty high potential, and each has assets and flaws that could elevate or lower their game.

I like Rozier more and more every day I watch more of him. He's a tough SOB. That "burst" the coaches talk about it 100% legit. He has explosive athleticism. I really see him as Avery Bradley with a handle if he can develop his off-ball and shooting skills.  If he does that, I think he could become a really good player. Even without it he could be a good role player. He's defense isn't recognized yet on CB, but it will be. He's tenacious, and he's NEVER scared. Perfect back-court mate for Smart if those off-ball skills develop.

Hunter seems like the prototypical SG to me. Obviously not at the same level, but he reminds me a little of Reggie Miller. Can literally shoot it from anywhere, has great size for a guard. Very high IQ, he can play both on and off the ball and he knows how to make the right play. If your hoping Smart/Rozier is your future back-court, having a guy like RJ who has different, but well fitting talents could be really good. His size is an issue. He needs to bulk up in the worst way. He's gonna have a hard time defending bigger 2's. But his instincts are very good, I can see why some think he'll be the best pro. Guys with his skill set are generally successful at the NBA level.

As far as Mickey goes, he could be quite a good player himself. He's got a chip on his shoulder now from the draft, and that could push him to be a very important player in our future. If he can continue to develop a reliable jump shot (and possibly extend to the 3) I think he could be a Draymond Green type, do it all big man. He's super athletic and defensively he can make an impact right away with his shot blocking, but he needs to work on his rotations and positioning.

It's a really hard call. I liked the guys we got in this draft, and I think they all have really good potential but I don't think anyone's head and shoulders above anyone else.
